Construction on I-40 bridge to start soon

(Nashville, TN) -- Construction on the I-40 bridge above Charlotte Avenue could start as soon as next month.

TDOT says both directions of the Interstate will be closed down for an entire weekend in either October or November so crews can replace concrete that keeps crumbling off. A 40-million-dollar project to rehab four downtown bridges, including the Charlotte Avenue overpass, is planned for 2015.
